Chapter 19: A blank check?
The atmosphere in the Yang family residence was so depressing that it made people feel breathless.
For Yang Wencheng and his wife, the reason they kept Yang Mian in the Yang family was because she still had vital value.
After all, the huge betrothal gift of 1 billion yuan from the Huo family not long ago was like a shining pearl, making everyone in the Yang family jealous.
This is a fortune that is enough to change the family's destiny. How could the Yang family easily give up this piece of fat meat?
“Tsk, selling your daughter for fame and fortune, you are so shameless!” Yang Mian’s eyes widened and she angrily retorted without fear.
Her eyes were full of contempt and anger, as if she was looking at the ugliest face in the world.
"You...you rebellious girl!" Yang Wencheng was so angry at Yang Mian's words that his whole body was shaking and his face turned red, like a ripe tomato about to burst.
He suddenly raised his hand, and his broad palm was about to fall on Yang Mian's face with a whistling sound.
At this critical moment, "Ding Ding Ding", a rapid telephone ring suddenly rang, as if an invisible rope, pulling Yang Wencheng back.
He took out his cell phone impatiently, and when he saw that it was a call from the Huo family, his expression changed instantly. His originally ferocious face was instantly filled with a flattering smile.
"Hello, Mr. Huo, how are you?" Yang Wencheng quickly answered the phone, his voice carrying a hint of deliberate respect, his waist unconsciously bent down, almost putting his head to the ground.
"Wencheng! Bring your daughter to the Huo family the day after tomorrow. I want to meet her in person." On the other end of the phone, Mr. Huo's voice was low and majestic, and every word seemed to carry an unquestionable command.
"Okay, okay, don't worry. I will take her to the Huo's house on time the day after tomorrow. I will definitely not keep you waiting for long." Yang Wencheng nodded and bowed in response. The smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he looked like a pug wagging its tail to beg for mercy.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home the day after tomorrow." After Mr. Huo finished speaking briefly, he was ready to hang up the phone.
"Okay, okay, you go ahead and do your job first." Yang Wencheng responded several times in succession, until he heard the busy tone from the other end of the phone, and then he carefully put down the phone.
That’s the Huo family, one of the four major families! In the entire city, the Huo family is like a towering mountain, playing an extremely important role.
Although the Yang family has some wealth, it is nothing compared to the Huo family. The little money the Yang family has is at most a drop in the bucket compared to the Huo family and is not worth mentioning at all.
After Yang Wencheng hung up the phone, he immediately turned around and shouted at Yang Mian, "You, go upstairs right now! Come with me to the Huo family the day after tomorrow, and don't play any tricks on me. I get mad when I see you now, Yang's mother, don't give her any food today, let her reflect on her mistakes."
He thought to himself that although his daughter was still useful, he couldn't let her get too proud and should punish her accordingly, otherwise she would become disrespectful to her elders and would become increasingly difficult to discipline.
"Tsk." Yang Mian snorted disdainfully, his eyes full of disgust.
Without even looking back, she went upstairs with firm steps.
She thought secretly in her heart that she really didn't want to face these greedy and disgusting guys. When would this ridiculous and suffocating day end?
At the same time, Yang Huan was watching this scene, with flames of jealousy burning in his eyes.
Why? Why can that girl Yang Mian become the future mistress of the Huo family? In her heart, the position of the future young mistress of the Huo family can only belong to her, Yang Huan.
This jealousy was like poison, spreading continuously in her heart.
At night, everything was quiet except for Yang Mian's stomach growling with hunger. The sound seemed to be protesting against the unfair treatment suffered by his master.
Yang Mian walked out of the room reluctantly and wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Although she is well versed in metaphysics and knows everything about astronomy and geography, she knows nothing about cooking.
Standing at the kitchen door, looking at the pots and pans, she looked confused.
The night was dark and windy, and the moonlight was blocked by thick clouds.
Yang Mian suddenly had an idea and decided to climb out of the window to find something to eat.
She opened the window carefully and jumped down along the pipe on the wall, as skillfully as a nimble cat.
After landing, she looked around to make sure she hadn't alarmed anyone, then walked outside.
As he walked, Yang Mian came to a dark and deep alley.
The alley was filled with a damp and decaying smell, and the walls on both sides were covered with moss.
Just then, a loud shout broke the silence.
"Don't run, catch him!"
I saw a man running hard, his steps were quick and flustered.
Yang Mian hid aside, watching the scene curiously.
I saw the man quickly take off his coat at the corner, and then took out a wig from his arms and put it on.
This series of actions was as fast as flowing water, which made Yang Mian suspicious.
Just as she was wondering, the man suddenly ran towards her, grabbed her hand, and slammed her against the wall.
This sudden action left Yang Mian completely unable to react.
“Help me, help me.” The man lowered his voice and then pretended to kiss Yang Mian, putting on a show for the people chasing him.
Yang Mian widened her eyes and wanted to break free but was afraid of exposing the man.
At this moment, the people who caught up saw the two "women" kissing each other in the alley and were stunned.
"No wonder I can't find a wife. I still have to be on guard against women these days?! Women already have girlfriends, how can I get a wife?" One of them complained helplessly.
"Don't look at it, it's really disgusting and hurts the eyes." Another person covered his eyes and said with disgust.
The group of ferocious people walked away cursing.
The man then let go of Yang Mian, took a step back, and said, "Thank you for helping me. My name is Huo Yanshen. I owe you a favor today. If you need my help in the future, I will definitely help you."
Yang Mian straightened his messy clothes and looked up at the person in front of him.
He had a tall figure and handsome face, but his eyes and brows showed a hint of fatigue and alertness, and he also exuded a faint murderous aura.
Yang Mian was curious and opened his third eye, wanting to see the identity of Huo Yanshen.
But found nothing.
What's going on? She couldn't actually see Huo Yanshen's past and future?
Could it be that because she was too hungry and didn't eat enough, her spell malfunctioned?
Forget it, let’s eat first! This person should have money, right?
Yang Mian's eyes widened: "I helped you escape a disaster, and you wrote me a blank check?" His eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
She doesn't want a blank check.
